8-Bit NES ‘Left 4 Dead’ makes my day.
I call shenanigans on Microsoft’s new “vented” Xbox 360 cases
While I was away I missed the launch of what is arguably the biggest game of the year, ‘Modern Warfare 2’. I got my copy of the game as soon as I got back, and to my surprise the new ‘Modern Warfare’ game shipped in one of Microsoft’s new “vented” game cases if you bought the standard edition of the game.
If your going to fork down $60+ for a next-gen game, the least Microsoft can do is actually release the game in a solid DVD case and not in this atrocity.
How many people are going to accidently stab their game case through since the case is now as thick as a thin piece of plastic. Playstation isn’t putting out their games in butchered half blu-ray cases. I know there’s a recession going on and every company is trying to save money wherever they can, but come on. Charge less for the game if your going to release it in what could barely be called a game case.
‘Halo Legends’ cover art and street date revealed
Warner Bros. Home Video has released the cover art for their upcoming ‘Halo’ anime anthology ‘Halo Legends’. They also revealed that ‘Halo Legends’ will be coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on February 9, 2010. Which means I’ll be putting this in my Netflix queue as soon as it becomes available.

The new ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ launch trailer
There’s a moment in this trailer that takes place in outer space, and the international space station gets blown up. This game looks insane in the best ways possible. Can not wait for this game to drop. I think I just had a tiny orgasm from my giddy anticipation of this game.
Download the complete DJ Hero soundtrack (updated)
There are some fantastic mixes in DJ Hero, sadly they have no current plans to release an actual soundtrack for the game. Thank goodness the internet has taken care of that. There are five songs missing from the complete 93 tracks of the game, but everything here is worth listening to if you are a fan of mash-ups, or just want to see what the music in DJ Hero is like before you consider investing in another rhythm game.
